2.0 Introduction

The BBWX2 unit combines a Sirius Satellite Receiver (similar to the BBWX1) and an Ethernet 4-port Switch.

The Receiver provides Sirius Satellite weather services and Sirius Radio (with two audio jacks). Currently, only Audio Port1 is active. Audio Port 2 is for future development.

The Switch uses an Ethernet interface (100-BASE-TX or 10-BASE-T) to provide the network communications among the NavNet 3D equipment and PC. Four external ports are provided on this Switch (there is one internal port dedicated to the Receiver).

3.0 BBWX2 Installation

The BBWX2 does not come standard with a Sirius satellite antenna or antenna cable. These must be purchased separately. The BBWX2 is compatible with two Shakespeare antenna models:

???SRA-40

???SRA 25

Furuno USA carries the following:

WX1-005-003 Shakespeare SRA-40 antenna

WX1-005-004 25??? BBWX2 Antenna Cable

For installations that require longer cable lengths you may contact your local Shakespeare outlet for options.

3.1 Mounting Considerations

The BBWX2 can be mounted on a desktop or a bulkhead. When choosing a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:

???Locate the unit well away from areas subject to water splash, rain and direct sunlight

??? Locate the unit away from the vessel engines or where fuel vapor may be present

???Locate the unit in an environment inside the operating and storage temperature ranges

???The power cable supplied is 3.0 meters, however it can be extended up to 20 meters.

???If bulkhead mounting, the cables should protrude out the bottom, not the top. This will prevent any possible water (moisture) from wicking into the unit from the cables.

Note: The Antenna and Receiver/Switch should be mounted away from electromagnetic interference (e.g. >1.5 meters away from an AIS or radio transmitter, >2.0 meters away from

Radar, >1.8 meters from a compass).

Fix the unit to the mounting location with the two self-tapping screws provided (as shown above).

3.2Mounting the Antenna

???Do not install antenna where it can be damaged by being kicked or trampled.

???The antenna beam is required to have an unrestricted view of the skies; this constitutes 5 ft [1.5 meters] out from the antenna and 1 ft [0.3 meter] above and below the antenna.

???The antenna is to be installed on a flat horizontal surface.

???The antenna can be installed as a standard ???pedestal??? mounting or ???surface??? mounting [non metallic surface only].

???Depending on the method of mounting and thickness of mounting substrate, the hardware screws supplied may not be suitable.

???The antenna must not be installed in the path of a radar beam.

???The antenna cable should not be cut or altered.

3.3Cabling

Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways or close to moving or hot objects. Don???t make sharp bends in cables.

Be careful when pulling cables and/or connectors through bulkheads as damage can occur. Don???t run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into connectors.

Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head, a watertight gland or ???swan neck??? should be used.

Don???t run the Ethernet cables in areas adjacent to radar transmitter, or large current carrying cables.

The power cable provided is 3 meters long. However, it may be extended to a maximum of

20 meters using a suitable 16 AWG multi-stranded cable. Red is positive, black is negative.

The two audio cables provide are 3 meters long. They have 3.5mm male stereo jacks on either end of the audio cable. Currently only Audio Port1 is active and available for use.

The antenna cable for the BBWX2 is not standard supply and must be purchased separately.

The Ethernet cables used with the BBWX2 must be shielded. When connecting the cable, ensure the appropriate power synchronization toggle switch is set.

Page 8 of 15

Note: For the power synchronization feature to function, 4 pair Ethernet cables must be used.

See page 6 for a list of cable options.

Connecting Cables to the BBWX2

Each cable type has a corresponding color-coded rubber cable grommet (for water resistance). The cable grommets are inserted into the enclosure cable tray of the Receiver unit (as shown below).

The following colors correspond to each type of cable:

???The yellow grommet is for the antenna cable

???The blue grommet is for the power cable

???The red grommets are for the Ethernet cables

???The green grommets are for the audio cables

???The black grommets (solid) are for when there is no cable

To connect the cables to the BBWX2:

1.Undo the tray cover on the BBWX2 enclosure (three screws on the back).

2.Plug the cable into the appropriate connector.

3.Install the corresponding cable grommet in the enclosure cable tray

4.Press the cable into the slot in the grommet. Make sure it is seated well with minimal strain.

5.Repeat for all cables to be installed.

Note: If the unit was already mounted, loosen mounting screws, lift and remove unit to access tray cover for a cable change.

3.4 Turning Power ON, LED function

Power ON

No operation is required for the user. Simply turn on the BBWX2???s DC power source to power it.

Note: When the BBWX2 is used as a switch, make sure to power it before any other Network

Devices (MFDs)

BBWX2 LEDs

The LEDs are displayed on the top surface of the unit as shown below.

U.S.A.

Receiver LED display

There is a single, multi-color LED that provides the status of the Receiver. Generally, when the LED is GREEN ??? normal operation; when AMBER ??? anomalous but trivially fixable operation required; when RED ??? something has failed. See the Troubleshooting section for more details on the LED status/conditions.

Switch LED display

There are LEDs to monitor the LAN communications on the unit. The indicator LEDs blink or go off according to the equipment status as in the table shown below. The LEDs show link and data rate.

When the equipment is first powered-up, the power on sequence is as follows:

Receiver LED: Initially ON (Green)

Switch LAN LEDs: All blink once (first 100 row, then Link/Act row), then go off (when no port activity is detected).

4.0 Sirius Activation

To enable the weather services and/or the radio services, you must first have a Sirius subscription to these services. Individual and combination weather and audio subscriptions are available.

For more information, please visit www.sirius.com/marineweather or

www.sirius.com/radio/packages.

Before calling Sirius, make sure that???

???the unit is powered on

???the signal strength is Medium or High

???you have the ESN number of your BBWX2 Satellite Receiver from the label shown below (this label is on the retail box, on the back of the unit itself or on the inside cover of this Installation Guide)

???you have the billing information to arrange payment of the subscription

???you have a major credit card available (that has a US billing address).

U.S.A.

To activate a Sirius subscription, contact Sirius by calling 1-800-869-5480

5.3 Power synchronization

When connecting with PC(s), use shielded 2 pair Ethernet cable and set the applicable network port toggle switch(es) to OFF.

When multiple MFD8/12/BBs are connected to the BBWX2 switch, using shielded 4 pair Ethernet cables, you can synchronize power to all of them by turning just one of them on.

The port number of the toggle switch on the connector panel maps to a physical Network port as shown in the connector panel drawing below.

Turn the toggle switch on (to the left, when unit is oriented as above), to enable the power synchronization.

5.5 General Maintenance

Always turn your Receiver OFF before carrying out routine maintenance.

Your Receiver is a sealed unit. DO NOT SEPARATE the unit. There are no serviceable parts or adjustments inside.

Any internal adjustments must be carried out by an approved and qualified technician.

The following routine maintenance checks should be made:

???Examine all cables and grommets for signs of wear and/or damage

???Check that all cables are supported and are not stressing the connectors

???Check that all connectors are fully inserted and support

???Wipe the unit with a clean damp cloth
